Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HAY FIELD) (2-1) - This very consistent mare missed by a 'neck' here at this level going 5.5 furlongs in an 'off the turf' contest July 18. Claimed that afternoon by Jay Servis for $40K, he's won with 19 of 57 (33%) first off that transaction since Jan. 1 of 2018. This 6yo loves 'off' going (5-3-2-0) and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #5 (Miss Lily B) (4-1) - Her entire career has been spent at Finger Lakes where she's gone 9-5-4-0 for veteran Chris Englehart. She became a stakes winner June 17, is very fast from the gate, and it's noted that Jose Ortiz takes the mount. A strong factor on the lead.

3rd pick: #8 (Puffery) (8-1) - Filly drops down and is back in with state breds for this assignment. No speed type was never involved after stumbling badly last out, but is capable of getting a share at a square price with an alert beginning.

4th pick: #1 (Forever Changed) (10-1) - A lightly raced 3yo, she's had solid excuses in both starts since coming off a 5.5-month layoff June 15. Working fast for this attempt, she has the rail, blinkers on, and this home bred should be competitive with a trouble free break and trip.
